MULTIMODAL DISPLAY • Visualization: • Known: RT3D, Virtual Endoscopy • Angio applications • Image Fusion, Dental Imaging • New: eg Virtual Dissection • Quantification: • Volumes of tumors, aneurysms • Calcium Scoring, Osteo and PulmoCT • Perfusion, dynamics, Cardiac • Degree of Larnygo-Trachealstenosis • Assessment of infrarenal aortic aneurysms
Prerequisites • Segmentation • (Region Growing) • Fuzzy Connectedness (air filled organs) • Active Contour Models (vessels) • snakes, ballons • Centerline of tubular objects • Skeletonisation
Seg – Fuzzy Connetedness Udupa et al., Graphical Models and Image Processing,l 1996
Fuzzy Connectedness - Performance • Airways (200-300 slices) • Incorrect slices – manuell orrection: • Normals: n=2.1 • Pathologic: n=3.9 • Time: 15 – 20s p=0.06 n.s.
Seg – ACM - Snakes • Assumptions: • Vessels round -> elliptic • Only minimal changes from slice to slice • 2.5D approach: • Set of slices initialized • For every slice: • Contour of prev.slice used for starting • Snakes adopt contour according forces in x and y-direction
Skeletonisation The skeleton of an object is the locus of the centers of all the maximal inscribed hyper-- spheres
